Description
I have about 500 northern lights pictures taken during my stay in Alaska. IΒ΄m gonna upload the ones i like the most every now and then. The bad thing is that i didnΒ΄t have any good cameras at the time so all the pics of this trip where taken with a Canon Powershot A40 =S.Anyways, i think some of them are nice, i hope you like them.

Alaska is a great place. I live there and I love it. I got some shots of the Northern lights. But I had a crappy Camera as well. But now I have a semi decent one.

Hey, you only need a tripod. Now I shoot with a professional digital reflex camera, but this picture was taken with a 2MP pocket camera.
PS: I loved Alaska and would die to go back there some day!

I was wondering where this was because I wanted to see if I could regcognize it, and as soon as I read that it was at Chena Hotsprings, I immediately recognized the place. I have some good pictures of me in there during the winter with my hair frozen white because of the steam.
Nice picture by the way; I've lived in Alaska my whole life and never managed to get a picture of the northern lights.

Hey there, I spent a whole season working at Chena Hot Springs, I only had this 2 MP pocket camera but with a little tripod I could get some nice shots, I'm glad you liked it, I loved Alaska and would like to go back some day, but I think it will not be possible... not any time soon.
PS: The hot spings are nice!! I always got my hair frozen and my shorts too.

It is at Chena Hot Springs during winter, I guess January maybe or February.

That is weird, I took it almost 5 years ago with a 2 MP pocket camera, but thanks a lot for your comment!!!!

I hear Chena Hot Springs is the spot to get good Northern Lights shows. I've had a hard time getting any good shots when I have point and shoots on me though. Nice job.

Thanks! It takes some practice but it is not really hard.

Chena Hot Springs Resort, some 60 miles away from Fairbanks, down Chena Hot Springs road till it dies in the valley.

Thanks! they really are beautiful. The bad thing is that all the pics i took where with this pocket-camera, so my guess is because it is not a very good camera, green was the color that turned out the most. Most of the times, the Northern lights would be green, but i definitively saw red, pink, violet and white some other times, and those colors where REALLY hard to get on the picture. If i have time iΒ΄ll post another picture with other colors rather than green.
Thanks for the comment!

Wow this looks fantastic, I would love to have seen it myself. I have seen the northern lights first-hand a couple of times but never quite as strong as this or as intense a colour of green. Hopefully I can go to iceland this autumn and see something like this!
